Malpas away?

[BOB MARLEYS DUG]

Few rumours flying around on social media and the Bounce. Anyone able to confirm?

[R11Loaded]

My dad keeps saying he's hearing things about butcher Malpas Marsella being booted.. But I dunno I have seen nothing


Class doesn't show on a maroon jersey

[CallumLaidlaw]

He left EM looking angry apparently. Shortly followed by Butcher who refused to speak to any media.

[Hibercelona]

Hopefully. The man has more screws loose than Billy Brown.

[John_the_angus_hibby]

Hmmmmm. Get them to hand out the envelopes and they find theirs at the bottom of the pile!

[Captain Trips]

Hopefully.

[HibeeHendo]

Apparently they're both away.

[Leithenhibby]

Once MM does all the dirty work, RP walks in and says "clear your locker!!

Not so sure, but hey, you never know :wink:


I don't have a clue what road my club is going down right now..........

[HibeeHendo]

What the **** is even happening?

[madhatter]

Sources?

[Sammy7nil]

Scapegoat defo needed BUT if Malpas was to go how could Butcher stay? Has he NO shame ?

[HibeeHendo]

Sources?

Apparently they both left East Mains angry and Butcher refused to speak to the media.

[1875M]

Rumours flying around that both Malpas and Butcher are away, what is happening?

[Onion]

What could they possibly say? They are dead men walking. They can blame the players all they want, but it was their well paid job to get performances out of that team and they FAILED. Malpas is a tit and will join Billy Brown and Calderwood on Petrie's long list of "people who should never have been employed by Hibernian FC".

Sorry but that really isn't sources...

[jimmyboco1875]

I'm no buying these rumours if the manager and coaches were getting binned then these players wouldn't have been punted earlier

Surely you wouldn't get a guy to sack a load of players and cap off his day by saying:

"Aye, you anaw mate"

With any luck, Farmer has the same idea in mind...

Well obviously someone saw it and has shared it. I'm taking it with a grain of salt.

[BOB MARLEYS DUG]

Malpas left EM at 3:00 and Butcher left around 5:00.

[stubru59]

I'd imagine Petrie's in-box would have contained a few choice words of advice from the long suffering .... get rid of the monkey and the organ grinder will follow ... You can only hope.

[Onion]

It's called negotiating your way out of a contract. Now beginning to thing this is why there has been no news of TBs departure. It's all about money ! Butcher'a position is untenable. Expect an announcement in next 24 hrs.

[Captain Trips]

Surely you wouldn't get a guy to sack a load of players and cap off his day by saying:

You probably would, this is Rod Petrie we are talking about.

[DaveF]

Even if it is true, then no celebration here. Another management team on a whopping salary to pay off.

Let's see if it has legs or is garbage....

[itslegaltender]

My bet is that there some kind of pay cut for them.

[HibeeHendo]

Malpas left EM at 3:00 and Butcher left around 5:00.

This weekend couldn't get stranger.

Nothing would surprise me at Hibs at the moment

Its a week to late though, letting him pick the team for the play offs was lunacy.

[1987kev]

Why would they tell players they can go if there not going to b charge. I'm pretty sure a new manger would want to keep thomson.

[madhatter]

Well obviously someone saw it and has shared it. I'm taking it with a grain of salt.

No worries, just be careful what you do with that salt if you are ever near Petrie. He'd probably decide it'd be prudent to throw it all over the pitch at ER...

I think some players maybe made it clear they didn't fancy Div1 regardless of manager.

Me also.

All the players that have been told to go are out of contract. It could just be cost cutting. Wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't Butchers decision.

[hibeemikey21]

You probably would, this is Rod Petrie we are talking about.

Haha, fair point. This could be an absolute bloodbath!

Can Leanne empty Rod? Last man/woman standing

[HibeeHendo]

How can we afford to pay off the two of them?

Pay dumber a fiver and tell him to take dumb with him?

Maybe we're not.

Perhaps Rodders showed them the budget for next season and they simply walked out.

[Captain Trips]

If nobody on here knows the detail of the contract then how do we know if it will be costly or not especially after relegation? We made a few bob over last week so use that.

It's turning into our very own episode of Game of Thrones. 'The Green Wedding'.

Ned Stark will be outside East Mains with his head on the chopping block next.

[Gus Fring]

2 days ago Butcher was leaving to take care of his sick wife. Then it was stress. Now it's because he's been sacked. If we keep up eventually someone will be right.

[southsider]

If nobody on here knows the detail of the contract then how do we know if it will be costly or not especially after relegation? We made a few bob over last week so use that.
But we never, we got 25% of the joint gate receipts. Hamilton got 25% also and 50% went to spfl. FWIW i would still get rid of these clowns.

[madhatter]

Maybe leeann sat down and said "guys I'm here to tell you that you have been ***** , so Mr Media and Gimli please pack your bags". If she's been there today.

Otherwise maybe Petrie took them both in to the bog pointed at a floater and said "this is what ive made this club in to, I eagerly want to flush, you both have contributed massively and can't thank you enough. I plan to charge fans through the nose and have no intention to deliver change, you will get none of this money"

[Jones28]

Couldn't care tbh, I want the vast majority of whoever had anything to do with this whole situation out. They can all **** right off.

And what an awful anti-climax it will be if it's not.

[madhatter]

Those to get sacked: Petrie, Butcher, Malpas, Coaches, Scouts, Nelson, McGivern, Stevenson, Collins. That'd be start. Keep admin staff because they're working class slaves in comparison to these thieves.

[madhatter]

Sadly isn't. He hasn't improved at all since 2007. What did he do all game against Hamilton? Run forward a bit, turn back and pass to McGivern or into the centre rather than continuing to run into space.

Oh I did forget OTJ - he can get lost as well.

[1987kev]

Bit harsh including Stevenson with the rest.
Sorry but it's no he's no good enough in 7 years he's no improved as a player. Get me fit enough and I'll run about for hibs and get stuck in doesn't mean I'm good enough to play for hibs

He isn't a left back tho. He's had by far his best games at left mid. In fact, in butchers first few games, he played him there and he was excellent.

A normal day of work then.

I also said he was quitting because his wife was ill and because he was stressed. The context was people keep saying he's away, when he's not.

[HibeeHendo]

Malpas got sacked and Butcher walked away in protest?

[Calum68]

My bet is that there some kind of pay cut for them.

Wouldn't be upset if you're right with this. If the players have to take a wage cut then it's only fair the management team have to take the same. They're as much to blame as the players in my book,

[Sas_The_Hibby]

Sorry but it's no he's no good enough in 7 years he's no improved as a player. Get me fit enough and I'll run about for hibs and get stuck in doesn't mean I'm good enough to play for hibs

[Sas_The_Hibby]

[PeeJay]

Well said - this is exactly his problem, he gets played in a position that is not one he should be playing in and fans slate him for it, forgetting all too soon that he would be far better utilised elsewhere. Unfortunately, none of our previous managers sought to solve the problems of our full backs and LS has had to step in and help out, even now under Butcher's tenure. Great professional and club servant, however, maybe he would be better moving on for his own furtherance - seems to do a few of our other "not good enoughs" no harm.

[BOB MARLEYS DUG]

Please engage your brain and then read the guy's post again. He said nothing of the kind.

Apologies to Gus.

[madhatter]

Harsh on Stevenson IMO, one of the few with a bit of heart in him and always works his socks off.

I have a fairly large heart especially when it comes to Hibs. I also work my socks off - I normally shimmy the left one off first then the right.

In all seriousness is this what qualifies you as a Hibs player? Heart and ability to run about? May as well get a courageous long distance runner then. Outclassed by Hamilton players says it all.

[greenpaper55]

According to the BBC players have been offered as pay cut or told they can find another club, this from fat Brian http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/27575418

[GreenLake]

My bet is that there some kind of pay cut for them.

TB was put on 50% less salary, MM was put on 50% less salary and SM was put on 50% less food.

[Zemamma10]

You've got to be looking for goals from your wide players and Stevenson doesn't have that in his locker.

[The_Exile]

Stevenson is a victim of his own versatility, nothing more, nothing less. He is a good enough squad player for a team that should be pushing for European places in the SPL.

A class act IMO, if he wasn't good enough to also play left-mid/-back he would get more time at centre-mid and would probably win over more doubters. A strange paradox.

I once had a sweet & sour chicken pastie out of greggs. Not something I'd usually go for and certainly not something I'd have again. Come to think of it, I can't remember the last time I saw a corned beef pastie in greggs, have they stopped doing them?

Stevenson is a victim of his own versatility, nothing more, nothing less. He is a good enough squad player for a team that should be pushing for European places in the SPL.

Once he has gone I am looking forward to seeing your list of affordable alternatives who will meet the standard you aspire to, feel free to list them now so the rest of us know what is achievable, or at least give us the next scapegoat.:aok:

[churchie16]

TWO of my sources have said that today Malpas lost the plot with Rod Petrie and was subsequently Suspended/Sacked.... The reason for this is apparently Petrie informing Butcher and Malpas that they would not have the budget promised when they signed on due to relegation!

About an hour after Malpas was "removed" from East Mains Butcher gave the board an ultimatum about finances and Petrie accepted his resignation....

AGAIN.... Not confirmed but it's from where most of my info has come from today!!!!

DON'T SHOOT THE MESSENGER!!

[Beefster]

No offence but someone on Facebook once told me that washing your face with pish cures cancer.

I'll wait for a more reliable source.

[churchie16]

Guy on facebook been posting all day and has been at east mains what he has said all day has happened wonder if it is true and thats why they all looked so angry who knows eh?

[Steve20]

Whoever is manager had better get a decent sized budget, or it'll be years until we get out of the championship.

You are right lets just keep TB at least we know he is affordable even if he has been a TOTAL FAILURE and showed NO sign what so ever that he has any clue how to stop this slide in form. After all our next manager maybe just as bad so best not try to solve the problem lets just wait and see. If in doubt just bury your head in the sand. :confused:

Best footballing sides against us this year have been Partick Thistle and Dundee United.

Partick Thistle players will none of them be on great contracts however there seems a decent team spirit there and a real bond.

Dundee United have had fluency and built a squad, using youth at the right times. Again, none will command big wages many of them.

Players are out there that want to play for Hibs. We will still pay good wages in the league's terms. Guaranteed 4 derbies and trips to Ibrox - no brainer for a player that wants to crack on with his career as these games will be televised in some shape or form. Ramsdens Cup, League Cup and Scottish Cup......again, plenty chances to get limelight and have people watching you.

My main worry is youth investment and the chances of staying down for 2 or 3 years. That would be a huge concern for me.

Last time in Div 1 was a hoot though even though we f****** lost our opening games :greengrin Stran f****** raer :rolleyes:

2 sources told you this ? 2 separate sources?

Were both of them at the meeting ?
How come Butcher waited an hour ?

Now , absolutely no offence intended here but I think you are talking complete and utter mince with no truth in it whatsoever.
Mind , no offence :greengrin

All will depend if there's a real "Wind of Change" or if it's just a draft (as Pat S suggested).
Interesting days ahead.

I know a youth player who has been told the news little more than 10 minutes ago as he was due in for a meeting tomorrow regarding his future and this has been postponed.

I have zero reason to doubt him, I only wonder why it hasn't been announced unless Hibs are letting them both cool off overnight.

[hibs4thecup1988]

Fair play I am glad it was released over the weekend, could seriously not bear that guy at our club...unless it was assistant to Gary Locke. Tin hat firmly on

One thing that makes me think that this could be true is that I am astounded butcher and malpas haven't resign already. How can they possibly think the fans will ever be on their side again. Have the pair of them no shame

Butcher has been quite open in the media that the budget for signing players would be affected if Hibs were relegated. Unless MM is really thick, I would really doubt he thought the budget would stay the same.

[Speedway]

Shouldn't the budget be increased?

Lee Ann was side by side with Petrie striding into East Mains this morning to start the Cull ,so there will be some formal statement by the weekend I think as they won't have shifted any season tickets this week and that will focus minds Lee Ann was good at P R and Marketing and involving fans at Motherwell and she will want to make her mark and raise her Profile taking the pressure off the Tache

[zlatan]

Wish people wouldn't lie about stuff just for the sake of it. It's pathetic.

I was just saying the same thing to Jennifer Lawrence as I fed her the morning after pill with a bottle of strawberry friji to wash it down.

Nope. Definitely Reyes driving......

This could be the most accurate info of the night - any local bus driver would know that the 26 doesn`t go past EM but Reyes wouldn`t ;)

It's proven to be the only way

[Jim44]

With theThe Rangers and Jambos in the Championship, the only chance of us getting back to the Premiership is by a calculated risk and buying our way back. In the state we are in and the quality of players we are likely to attract, it's highly unlikely that we will be able to play our way back, but, undoubtedly, that will be the chosen route.

[Speedway]

I find it hard to accept that one so reputedly financially astute as Petrie would elect to back a false economy ideal of trying to play our way back when it's obvious that just one failed attempt at that would be financially disastrous (eg yams and Huns going up, leaving us to play against the dregs)

Buying our way out is the only way now, surely?

Agreed, we need really good strikers and the cost has to be met.

You would have thought so, to some extent. That word "sustainable" from his dreadful "statement" still stands out....

Ah well, it`s not as if thousands of fans have paid full SPFL Premiership prices for their Season Tickets for next year, is it? :cb

Yup, the only way to get out of this is to invest. We should show some ambition for a change, decide we are going to make one massive push to win the league, and buy some proven players to do just that.

Two proven goalscorers at championship level
A proven winger
A proven center back

That would go a long way.

Who would people suggest as possible strikers? Hemmings would be one for me. We aren't going to get a Boyd or Miller so would be better buying players who have proven record of scoring goals.

Hemmings and Taylor would be a good start.

We will have to score barrow loads of goals to win it and that has to be our priority, never mind wage caps and no one earning more than others. Pay for quality strikers or wallow for another season.

Yup. Hemmings and Taylor should be realistic targets for Hibs next season I would think.

Goal stats:

Hemmings: 39 games, 24 goals
Taylor (at falkirk): 42 games, 29 goals Partick: 20 games, 7 goals

I think you're spot on. I actually thought that with Rangers out of the SPFL and Hearts on -15 from day 1 we - as a club - could have invested money in players to ensure we finish top 3, maybe win a cup and get into Europe where the money is, but we got relegated instead. Investment would have been a good idea under those circumstances! It was actually a great chance for the Club to move forward, but we failed miserably, and the mistakes were made right at the very top. I can't quite see the same guys who refused - for whatever reason - to grasp the huge opportunity that has presented itself these past few seasons, now opting to spend to get us out of the Championship ASAP ....

i agree we will have to score lots of goals ......but we need to reduce drastically the number of goals we concede (so easily), this has been a consistent failure for the last 4-5 years, in fact even during Mowbray's tenure ! ....the only bonus then we scored more.

So back to conceding .....yip centre half ...in fact a whole new back 4 wouldn't go amiss ...but I think ..more importantly just now ..we need a goal keeper ..or 3 ...we don't have any now !!

He left EM looking angry apparently. Shortly followed by Butcher who refused to speak to any media.

Is that not his default demeanour? :greengrin

Spending money is no guarantee to success - you have to have the right people in place and trust that they will spend the money wisely and then be able to shape and mould a successful team - something we haven't had and dont have just now.

Unless Petrie is gone this would be a disaster also in fact it may seal our long term fate for the next decade or so

If ( and it is a big word) we had spent cash on Adam Rooney in the last transfer window we will not have been relegated. We lost a 29 goal a season forward and did not repace him. Instead we got in 3 loanees 2 of which were murder and the other was **** scared. Petrie is why we are in this mess along with Butchers' "prehisoric football". ONE OUT, ALL OUT !

I'm not convinced he'd have made that much of a difference. He may have done better than James Collins but he'd have done a lot worse having long straight balls shelled straight up the park at his head and feeding off the occasional scrap than getting the 3-4 quality chances per game he gets at Aberdeen.

It is a certainty they will be gone shortly and there will be few regrets but can't really get worked up about it; but is a minor issue compared to getting Petrie (and others such as O'Hagan) removed from any influence.
